Desk mode/ speaker phone issue

Hi,
Yesterday my phone went into car mode on its own. Now today, it is keeps popping up as in desk mode. It has also been answering all calls in with the speaker phone. Last night I restarted my phone because the speakers were not working. Any hints as to how to solve my problem?

Speaker Phone Issues!!!

Has anyone else had problems switching between normal talk mode and speaker phone mode with thier iphone?
When I switch to speaker phone, say to look something up on my phone while still communcating with the person on the other side we can communicate just fine, then when I want to switch back to normal talk mode they can no longer hear me. I can still hear them them even if I try switching back to speaker phone, the other person can be heard loud and clear, but they will no longer be able to hear me no matter what I do.
I'm not sure if it is a phone issue or iOS issue. I had problems with my iPhone 4 and now again with my iPhone 4S. I am hopeing other people have had this problem and can give me a few hints as to solving it. Even if that means taking it in for an exchange, I dont really care, I would just like it to work. I set up an appointment for support but have yet to talk with anyone. I hope someone can help.
Thank you.

Hi kat2653. Let's get your husband's phone working properly! When your husband is holding the phone up to his ear, is the screen not going blank? There's a great proximity sensor on the iPhone that should take care of the phone's screen sensitivity while on a call, because it makes the screen untouchable while it's blank. If that's not working, there may be something partially blocking it, like a case or screen protector.
There's also been some wonderful enhancements to all the iPhones with the new iOS 6 updates. Please use the steps from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 to make sure you're iPhone has been updated to Version 6.0.1 (10A523). You can also double check if this is the version you already have by going to Settings>General>About on the iPhone.
Thank you

N97 and speaker phone problem...

just curious here...I'd read this topic sometime ago, in regard N97 have some sort of speaker phone issue for the other party you're phoning with do not hear your voice very clearly and get intermitten cut off???
do/does anyone have this issue or it's just me???

Ross, i'm not sure, but here in the states AT&T refers iPhone users to contact Apple for tech support, etc.
You may try restoring the iPhone using iTunes and or restoring most settings in Preferences. That may help. Some have found fixes by removing the SIM card (iphone off), and reinserting it...
My first guess would be a software issue. Aside from that... you'd have to contact Apple and have them send you a new one if you're nowhere near an Apple store in the UK.

When im on a call i need to be on speaker phone to be heard Why dosnt it work without the speaker phone mode ?

When Im on a call I have to be on speaker phone mode to be heard. Why dosnt it work in the normal phone mode ?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved. If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

Can only use phone in speaker phone mode

I can only use the phone in speaker phone mode. Neither party can hear the phone in regular mode. Any ideas

Make an appointment for the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store if restoring doesn't solve the problem. If the phone is under warranty and there is no water damage or severe physical damage the phone will be replaced. If it is out of warranty or damaged the phone will be $199. This is the case in the US. This is actually a pretty good deal because it is equivalent to a subsidized iphone price.

The speaker is used when im using my phone in speaker phone mode or listen to music.This speaker is only the right side hole and the left one is mic

Correct. As indicated in response to your duplicate post.

Cant hear or record my voice when on headset mode in calld but can use speaker phone

I just got a BlackBerry Z10. When I make calls or am called people can't hear my voice in normal headset mode but if I put them on speaker they can hear me. I tried seeing if I could record my voice and it's not picking up anything. Why in normal mode isn't it picking up anything? Is there a setting messed up or did I buy a defective phone? Why does the microphone pick up when in speaker phone mode but not normal headset mode?

You should run some tests to see what's happening. If you still have the Help icon on your homescreen, click it then click Testing at the bottom to run the tests. If you no longer have the Help icon, go to BlackBerry World and search for BBVE.
Keep us up to date on your progress.

I get no sound for YouTube or music when headphones are out. Speaker phone works fine. It appears to be software issues. Any ideas?

I have an iPhone 4s w/iOS 5.0.1. YouTube and music player do not produce sound w/out headphones being plugged in. The speaker phone and other phone sounds continue to work properly. The volume buttons on the side of the phone do not control volume unless the headphones are plugged in. When you go to 'settings' then 'sounds' and make sure 'change with buttons' is selected, the volume bar will not move with the buttons until I make the volume change on the bar with my finger - then the buttons control the volume bar (but still no sound for YouTube or the music player without the headphones). It appears to be some type of software issue. I have read the post about theap home thinking the headphones are still plugged in, but that would not explain why some sound works and others do not. Any ideas?

Hello tiffay8,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're not getting any audio output from your speakers when you're playing games. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

HT201401 Incomming calls always on speaker phone mode. How do I change to normal phone mode?

When answering phone for incomming calls, the phone is always in speaker phone mode. How do I return the phone to normal phone mode?

Check Settings>General>Accessibility>Incoming Calls (in the Physical & Motor section). Make sure this is set to Default.

My iPhone 5 crackles and pops loudly during calls (with and without speaker phone.) I'm experiencing this same same issue on my third iPhone. Is this a common problem? Short of getting the phone replaced (yet again!) is there a solution?

My iPhone 5 frequently crackles and pops loudly during calls (while using speaker phone, as well as not using speaker phone.) After being inspected by techs at the Genius Bar, my phone has been replaced twice; thus, I am currently on my third iPhone 5. Incredibly, I am, yet again, experiencing the exact same issue. Short of getting my fourth iPhone, is anyone aware of a solution?

if it's the exact same issue, either it's a problem with your service or with your software if you're restoring from a backup each time. it's pretty darn near impossible for 3 phones to have the same exact hardware issue, so that's unlikely. is this an at&t iphone? if so, are you continuing to use the same sim card? if so, get a new one and try that out. if that's not the issue, restore the phone as new and make a few phone calls. if the issue's gone away, there's something wrong with your backup

Hi there MitchR12,

iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues

HT4623 My Iphone 5 is experiencing terrible speaker issues - the speakers are busted I do believe. I had a software update on Saturday May 11 - which said it was for the speaker phone, but to no avail... I still cannot use my speaker phone.

I am so disgusted with the new Iphone 5 and the speaker quality. I was using the speaker phone a few days ago, and it started to sound like I had poor signal and poor reception. I later discovered, it was the speaker itself. It has apparently burst.
I then got a notice of a software update specifically for the speaker phone - on Saturday, May 11, 2013. I downloaded the update, and it is still terrible. I cannot use the speaker phone nor use the speakers in any capacity.
To have paid this much for such a wonderfully technical piece of equipment - to find it cannot perform the simplest task of delivering quality speaker tones. It is inaudible.
I am not going to purchase another Iphone. Sadly, I have been an avid IPhone user since they first came out, and have always purchased the newest version. The Iphone 5 will be my last IPhone.
My daughter has the Galaxy 4S, and I am very impressed.
Sorry Apple, you have dropped the ball. A phone this advanced should be able to have the simplest of features work properly... any cell phone has good speaker phone capabilities...except for the Iphone 5.
Signed, a very disappointed Iphone 5 customer.

This is a user to user help forum only so doubtful if anyone here is going to lose any sleep.
If you think android devices never have a hardware problem or failure, you are delusional.
Be sure to purchase an run antivirus on those android devices since you will need it. Android is the mobile equivalent of Windows in regards to security or severe lack thereof.

HT201406 My phone keeps trying to facetime randomly during phone calls, it will also mute itself and put itself on speaker phone. Anyone else have this problem? I did the factory reset and I am still having issues.

My iphone 4 will randomly try to facetime, mute itself, or put itself on speaker phone during a phone call. I did the factory reset, but I am still having this problem. Does anyone know what may be wrong, or has anyone else had this problem before?

I have the iPhone 4s on Verizon and never had this problem until I recently updated to iOS 7.0.2. I have the same case on it for several months. Yesterday, when I was talking on the phone with someone, it appeared as though I lost the call. But when I looked down at my phone, it was trying to Facetime with someone in my contact list. It happened again today. Different person, but both people have names that start with "A", so they are at the top of my contact list. Very frustrating! So, obviously updating to the latest iOS either did not help or was the cause of the problem.

When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call

When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call.
I then have to press the handset button to get out of the speaker phone mode.
How do I set it to goto the handset automatically.
I have the most up-to date software and I have pulled that battery.

That's just what happens when you do a battery pull. If your phone is turned OFF, the cache is not accessible. As you're probably aware, anytime any electronic device is acting up (PC, printer, modem, etc.), unplugging it will correct many issues; it's the same with your phone.
I can't offer a really technical explanation, just trust me on this one and remove your battery while your phone is ON.
